I just don't get what benefit sky has from putting it on sky sports, I can't imagine many of the viewers are subscribing to sky sports just for wrestling, surely they should give it a go on an entertainment channel and see how it gets on.

It pads out Sky Sports 5, which would be empty without WWE programming. But sticking it on 5 is only hurting it too, because it's missing on BT and TalkTalk packages, and is more likely to be overlooked even if you do have it.

I think a whole load of factors has led to the state it's now in. YouTube highlights, WWE Network, the programming itself, declining popularity of Sky Sports in general (everything is down; only big Premier League games now pull in a million+), expecting people to stay up until 3/4am on consecutive nights, which with the increase in PPVs on the Network is twice a month, that USA has increased the advertising during RAW to almost 50 minutes...

WWE is dying on Sky Sports, but there seems to be no appetite to save it.

RAW highlights air on Sky1 on Sunday mornings; Main Event and abridged Network specials air on Sky Sports Mix.
